Residential mixed-use project, The Langston in Sydney’s Epping, has achieved a major step towards completion, following the announcement that the project has achieved topping out status.
The milestone signifies the completion of the uppermost floor of The Langston’s tallest structure, the 29-storey Langston Tower, by construction partner Hutchinson Builders, after which the final phase of construction will commence, including internal fit-out.
Located just 100 metres from Epping Station, The Langston comprises three towers containing 462 premium apartments, 2,100 square metres of mixed-use retail space (including for cafés, restaurants, a supermarket and others) and 2,500 square metres of communal open space.
Designed by Architectus, with landscaping by Arcadia, the development is situated on the highest land point in the suburb, enabling stunning panoramic views to the Sydney CBD to the south-east, and the Blue Mountains views to the west.
Cbus Property’s Chief Executive Officer, Adrian Pozzo, said the topping out milestone marks an important step in the revitalisation of the Epping Town Centre.
“To have the physical structure of The Langston completed is a major achievement for our entire project team – and we’re now focused on pushing ahead into the final stages of the construction,” Mr Pozzo shared.
“We’ve been committed to developing this site for a number of years, so to reach this stage in the development is not only an exciting milestone for us, but also for the future face of Epping.”
“The Langston is a major contributor to the Epping Town Centre, providing new housing opposite a major transport hub, as well as brand-new retail offerings and an extensive public domain that links pedestrians from the station through to the eastern side of the suburb,” he said.
“We’re very positive about the future of Epping and with the support of our construction partner Hutchinson Builders, we’re looking forward to delivering a key piece of that future later this year at The Langston.”
According to Gary Henighen, Senior Associate at Architectus, The Langston will be a distinctive landmark in Sydney’s north-west.
“The Langston will feature abundant amenity and premium features akin to that of inner-CBD residential projects,” Mr Henighen commented.
“Architectus’ design thoughtfully responds to the changing market conditions, including the rapid growth of the region, links to the new metro line and increased expectations for apartment living following the COVID-19 pandemic.”
“The Langston will provide residents with a luxurious, hotel-style experience and externally, the curvaceous form of the buildings maximises the spectacular 360-degree views over Sydney’s city skyline and the Blue Mountains,” Mr Henighen said.
“It’s been fantastic to work alongside the leading team at Cbus Property to bring their vision for the development to life, and the topping out of all three towers is a momentous milestone.”
